Looking for a full menu of food inspection reports?

A map-based food inspection report app provides instant access to thousands of inspection reports conducted by the Health Department.

The environmental health team permits and then inspects more than 3,500 retail food establishments within Fairfax County and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church. Retail food establishments include restaurants, fast food operations, deli's, grocery stores, cafeterias, and other types of places that serve food away from home.

2. Search the name on the web application

When you see the retail food establishment you are looking for, click on the name. The available inspection reports will be listed horizontally across the bottom of the screen.
